FALL Soccer!!!

Since it is UEA break and we have no soccer games today...I thought I would finally post some soccer pictures. This Fall soccer season has been quite interesting...the weather has been anywhere from sunshine (rarely) to rain and than a little snow. I was in Park City last weekend so these are some pictures Grandpa Roger took for me. I can't say I missed sitting out and watching the games in the 40 degree weather.

LOOK AT THAT SOCCER FACE!!! Will has played for about 3 years.

Way to go WILL...Shoot IT!!!

Rachel has played soccer for about 7 years...I think it is her sport. Rachel started reffing for Impact this year. She has really enjoyed it. I think it has helped with her self confidence and really getting to know the game. I wouldn't want to be out there making calls with some of those grumpy parents. I fortunately am a ref coordinator so I schedule where and when she refs...I only put her with the U9 or U8 because the parents don't seem to get quite as into it.

Nothing like a little Hot Chocolate during a 40 degree game.Will LOVES Soccer...he does really well. So CUTE!!! This is Sadie's first year playing.

The little girls are so fun to watch!!!

Sadie LOVES Soccer...she isn't afraid to get into it.

It is pretty fun because 7 of the 8 girls on the team are in our ward.

We are in for some great soccer seasons a head.

ART BY ZOE!!!

Be sure to double click the picture so you can get the real efect of how funny these are...One of Rachel's good friends Zoe was over at our house the other day messing around on our computer...I was quite impressed with what she came up with... I felt it was good enough to make the blog...this one is for you Zoe...we LOVE it when you come over to our house.
She sure has talent...I'm thinking something in Graphic Design????

Halloween....a look back

Homecoming anyone?

So the other night at around 11:15 pm I was sitting on the floor half naked feeding the dog, when there was a huge pound on the front door! When I got to the door I could see someone jumping into a car and speeding off. Hmmm. I opened the door and noticed some strange rocks on my porch and others leading down the walkway:



Upon further investigation I noticed there was writing on the main rock that said: Homecoming Would Rock w/ You



My immediate thought was they now do Homecoming in the 7th grade and this is for Rachel, then I thought HELL NO, she's 12 years old, she's not going on a date!

Then I thought, well maybe Emily is turning into one of those teachers out there who likes the younger generation. Remember Debra Lafave, Pamela Rogers or the more infamous Mary Kay Letourneau???? Yikes!

Anyway, it ended up being a wrong address, he was suppose to be on the next street over.

Funny....






Sorry Nick...

Preschool has begun...

Well Sadie is currently at her 3rd day of preschool while I am blogging this. I joked that I would be kicking up my heels and just so excited to have some time to myself. Don't get me wrong I do like my alone time but, it has hit me that she is our last and she will be gone more and more and it kind of makes me sad. She truly is my buddy...she always wants to sit by me and do what I do and most of the time it drives me crazy but, to think how quickly she will be gone ALL DAY makes me sad. Thank heavens we got our little puppy DIESEL to keep me company. She is so excited to be going to Miss Denise's this year with lots of her friends in the ward.
She gets to sit by her friend Grace.

These are all the cute girls in our ward going there (minus Ashley). I love you Sadie and hope you have a great year in preschool.

Mount Olympus ...Labor Day Weekend

Dad and Jake climbed Mt Olympus over labor day weekend. They talked Uncle Steve, Adam, Uncle Brett, Alex and Grandpa Robert into going with them. It is Jake and Dads 3rd time climbing it together. Jake loves, loves to hike he is a little mountain lion. He has no fear and seems to never wear out. This is a tradition that they are hoping to keep going for a while. Rachel climbed it last year over Labor Day with her friend Sydney and her dad. Next year will probably be Will's first time to climb. Someday I will get there but probably not until everyone can go (Sadie)...at least until than I have some sort of an excuse. Much needed rest. Grandpa Robert made it to the saddle but his knees are bad and he decided to turn back. Quite impressive he could make it that far.
On the top!!! I am told it is a very grueling straight up hill climb.
